In Delaware, the minimum wage for tipped workers has not gone up for more than 30 years.
It was $2.23/hr then and it's $2.23/hr now.

In 30 years tipped workers have lost ground. They used to be paid 66.67% of the minimum wage. Now they're only paid 24%. But tipped workers are still required to make minimum wage when their hourly wage and hourly tips are combined.

Because the state allowed the gap between the tipped wage and the minimum wage to grow, employers get away with contributing just 24% of a tipped workers minimum wage. Now worker's tips have to cover 76% of their minimum wage. In 1989, tips only covered 33%.

This is how policy decisions help bosses at the expense of workers. Raise the minimum wage to $15 and end the tipped wage.
